[♪...] >> woman: there is no typical day in my life. i'm a, a busy mom, i work, i travel... it's crazy around here. everywhere i go, sensa goes, and it completely fits in my lifestyle. here's the thing: weight loss is really difficult, and i tried almost every other weight-loss program out there. i tried sensa and for me, this was it. it changed my life. it's allowed me to live my life. it's allowed me to eat food. i never felt better. my name is dayna devon, i live in los angeles, and i've lost 20 pounds with the sensa weight-loss system. >> announcer: now, here to tell you about this amazing new breakthrough in weight loss is award-winning journalist, tv host and remarkable weight-loss success story herself,

dayna devon. >> hi, i'm dayna devon. that was me 20 pounds ago. before i discovered sensa, i tried everything to take that weight off after i had children, and nothing worked for me... until sensa. with this amazing product, i've changed my body and changed my life, and i'm here today with just a few of the hundreds of thousands of people who have already lost millions of pounds with sensa. >> to finally find something that works for me is incredible. i'm getting chills saying that. >> anybody can use it. you just shake it on your food. [chuckling]: it's not hard it all. >> if you can't diet... [laughs] like me, and, um, you like the good stuff, you don't have to change your diet. >> i'm nick, and i lost 28-1/2 pounds with sensa. >> i'm miriam, and i've lost 45 pounds in seven months. >> my name is solange and i lost 46 pounds using sensa. >> i lost 50 pounds and went from a size 19 to a 9/10. >> i'm david and i lost 93 pounds using sensa. [♪...]

>> so, how does sensa work? sensa is an amazing weight-loss system that you sprinkle on to take the weight off. you just sprinkle, eat, and lose weight-- it's that simple. with sensa you lose weight safely, there's no scary surgery, you never have to count a calorie or buy prepackaged food. you don't even have to increase your exercise or change your daily routine. there's no stimulants, diuretics, and sensa is not a pill. all you have to do is sprinkle sensa on your food before you eat it, and sensa does the rest. the heart of the sensa program is a revolutionary technology that's based on 25 years of research and testing. it was discovered by a brilliant research scientist and my hero, dr. alan hirsch. dr. hirsh holds five medical board certifications and is recognized as one of the world's leading experts on the science of smell and taste. he's appeared on oprah, good morning america, dateline, extra, the cbs early show, cnn and in hundreds of newspapers and magazines around the world. during the course of his

pioneering research, dr. hirsch discovered the groundbreaking secret behind sensa that's changed the way the world looks at weight loss forever. >> after 25 years of research, i finally figured out why diets don't work. most diets focus on what you eat-- they have it all wrong. sensa looks at why you overeat and the biological mechanisms that prevent you from overeating. it uses the body's natural physiology to prevent you from overeating. i found that hunger isn't controlled by your stomach. it's controlled by your brain. we don't overeat just because we're hungry. it's because we love to eat. and diets don't stop you from wanting to eat, they just stop you from eating what you want, and that's a recipe for failure. >> the fact that the brain can figure this out before the stomach... that, to me, was fascinating, and that attracted me further, as i think it should a lot of doctors. >> dr. hirsch: the key is a medical phenomenon called sensory specific satiety.

as you eat, sensa works with your senses to activate your body's natural hunger control switch, and triggers your body into thinking you've eaten more than you have, so you begin to lose weight without having to think about it. the reason sensa works when diets don't is because it lets you do what no diet can. it lets you lose weight while still eating the foods you love most without ever feeling hungry or deprived. >> i lost over 120 pounds with sensa. everything else i tried did not work for me except for sensa. i could eat whatever i wanted whenever i wanted with sensa, and i was seeing a steady weight loss. you just, you know, add this to your food whenever you eat and that's it. i was a size 48 in my waist and now i'm a size 28. i lost weight with sensa. [laughs] >> so let me show you the entire sensa program. now, careful, like i said before, don't blink, 'cause you might miss it.

that's the complete program. all you have to do is sprinkle sensa on all your favorite foods, and the weight just comes off. >> sensa works, sensa's great. i love it. i could eat what i wanted. it was so simple and so easy to adapt to.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o. o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.
